Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Seminar paper de l'année 2008 dans le domaine Etudes des langues romanes - Français - Autres, note: 1, Università di Siena, langue: Français, résumé: 1. Introduction'Le sourire, Momo ce n'est pas un truc pour les gens heureux: c'est sourire qui rend heureux!'Une thérapie par le sourire, voilà la sagesse de Monsieur Ibrahim dans cette courte réplique.Sourire est une manière tellement simple pour rendre heureux nous mêmes et aussi les gens qui nous entourent. Cette phrase de Monsieur Ibrahim m'a touchée immédiatement et je l'ai associée au bonheur dans le monde. C'est un sujet que m'interesse baucoup et voilà que j'ai fait des recherches sur le bonheur, dès origines à aujourd'hui. J'ai consideré les opinions du monde classique, les philosophes et la societé contemporaine.Il semble que Monsieur Ibrahim a trouvé son bonheur aussi dans sa religion. C'est pourquoi je veux dire quelques mots sur le soufisme. 'Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran' est une histoire toute simple, c'est une rencontre qui nous aidera peut être à sentir que souvent le miracle de la réconciliation est là, plus proche parfois qu'on ne l'imagine, au bout de la rue peut-être, chez quelqu'un que l'on n'a jamais pris la peine de regarder ou d'écouter. Ce film et aussi le livre ne perdent rien avec le passage du temps. Ils sont plein de sujets actuels. Aujourd'hui qu'on vit ensemble avec des étrangers ce film est un message simple mais efficace de tolérance envers l'autre. Cet étranger qui fait peur et dont on se méfie, dont on a peur car on ne comprend pas, et bien souvent car on ne fait pas l'effort de comprendre, sa culture. Le film est très proche au livre et tous les deux me plaîent beaucoup. Je les conseillerai tout de meme que si on a déjà tout lu ce qui nous tient à coeur. Les deux, monsieur Ibrahim et Moïse, fonctionne à merveille et se lit comme une forme de filiation entre deux amis qui se choisissent. Ils me font penser à les deux du film 'Le nom de la rose' dans lequel un père sert de guide à un jeune prêtre. Le jeune prêtre conservera une fleur dans sa bible (la fleur de son amour) et de la même manière monsieur Ibrahim conserve des fleurs dans son Coran qu'il offrira au jeune Moïse. Monsieur Ibrahim est heureux de vivre car il sait ce qu'il y a dans son Coran, comme on découvre à la fin du film que sont les fleurs du Coran, les fleurs de son amour qu'il ira retrouvé avec Momo en Turquie. C'est un film habité d'une grande poésie qui fait d'un vieil arabe une sorte de sage, un guide qui transmet son savoir à un jeune homme à qui il passe le relais dans un geste de filiation.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Schulpädagogik, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In den 80er Jahren veröffentlichte Joseph Cornell einen Ansatz, der einGegengewicht zur damals stark von Umweltproblemen dominierten öffentlichenDebatte darstellte. Cornells Ansatz war durch einen spielerischen und sinnlichenZugang gekennzeichnet und ist in seinem 1979 erschienenen Buch 'Mit Kindern dieNatur erleben' dargestellt (vgl. STEINER/UNTERBRUNER 2005, 9 ff.).Zahlreiche Ansätze in der heutigen Kinder- und Jugendarbeit sowie derErwachsenenbildung realisier(t)en oder integrier(t)en den von Cornell entwickeltenAnsatz der Naturerfahrungspädagogik (beispielsweise Landart undNaturinterpretation, Naturtherapie und Tiefenökologie, Spiel- undErlebnispädagogik).Anhänger der Naturerfahrungspädagogik gingen und gehen davon aus, dass dasErleben von Natur auch einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Umweltbildung liefert: 'Nurwas man schätzt, ist man auch bereit zu schützen' - lautet ihr Credo.Dies wurde von Kritikern jedoch zurückgewiesen. Sie argumentierten, diekontemplative Art, sich mit Natur zu beschäftigen, würde die gesellschaftlicheRealität ausblenden und damit entpolitisierend wirken.Empirische Untersuchungen sprechen gegen diese Kritik an derNaturerfahrungspädagogik. Sie zeichnen ein differenziertes und durchaus für dieNaturerfahrungspädagogik sprechendes Bild.So wird von einer Reihe von empirischen Studien die Bedeutung vonNaturerfahrungen für die psychische Entwicklung nachgewiesen. Der besondereWert der Natur liegt diesen Untersuchungen zufolge im gleichzeitigen Erleben vonVeränderung und Kontinuität sowie der Möglichkeit, Bedürfnisse nach Abenteuer und'Wildnis' ausleben zu können. Insgesamt ist die Natur für Kinder und Jugendlichehäufig ein Symbol für Lebensqualität und Lebensfreude. Von Bogner wurdenachgewiesen, dass Naturerlebnisse Naturschutzeinstellungen bei Schülernerhöhen. Bögeholz und Lude wiesen nach, dass Naturerfahrung das Entstehenumweltbewusster Einstellungen und vor allem auch Handlungsbereitschaften positivbeeinflusst (a. a. O., 12).Dem Naturerleben kommt eine besondere Bedeutung zu, weil 'im Verhältnis desMenschen zur Natur stets auch sein Verhältnis zu sich selbst sichtbar wird' (a. a. O., 12). Deshalbsind die Erfahrungen, die wir in und mit der Natur machen, auch Erfahrungen mit unsselbst (vgl. ebd.).[.] 28 pp. Deutsch.…

Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Informatik - IT-Security, Note: 2,0, Universität Stuttgart (Betriebswirtschaftliches Institut), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Bereits vor einigen Jahren wurde erkannt, dass sich die Technologie zur Identifikati-ons- und Kennzeichnung von Gütern bzw. Waren in einem nachhaltigen Umbruch befindet. Die zukunftsweisende Branche dieser Technologie ist vor allem der Handel bzw. die großen Einzel- und Großhändlerunternehmen. Um ihre Liefer- und Produk-tionsprozesse zu optimieren, setzen sie RFID ein. Diese Prozesse sind nur dann effi-zient genug, wenn Partnerunternehmen über die gleiche Technologie verfügen. Das heißt also, wenn diese Prozesse aufeinander abgestimmt sind und die Schnittstellen zwischen den Unternehmen funktionieren.Die rasche Innovationsgeschwindigkeit der technologischen Entwicklung kann als ein wichtiger Einflussfaktor auf die Wettbewerbsbedingungen interpretiert werden. Der treibende Faktor hierfür ist die Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie. Wich-tige Eigenschaften der technologischen Entwicklung sind zunehmende Wissensin-tensität und eine steigende Komplexität der Forschung. Dies setzten disziplinenüber-greifende Lösungen und eine enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen den einzelnen Akteu-ren voraus.Die rasche Kommunikation digital gespeicherter Daten in großen Netzwerken über eine immer größer werdende Masse an Akteuren charakterisiert eine Informations- und Wissensgesellschaft. Es besteht ein Wandel von der Mensch-Maschine-Kommunikation zur Vernetzung und Kommunikation zwischen Maschinen, ohne In-teraktion des Menschen. Diese Arbeit soll dies verdeutlichen und die damit verbun-denen Risiken aufzeigen.Darauf basierend sind Ubiquitäres Computing oder Pervasive Computing entstan-den, wobei Ubiquitäres Computing eine allgegenwärtige und unaufdringliche Tech-nikvision beschreibt. Dies lässt das heutige Erscheinungsbild des Computers verblassen und die 'smarten Objekte', die direkt miteinander kommunizieren rücken in den Vordergrund. 32 pp. Deutsch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) (Institut für Literaturwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Heinrich von Kleist, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Zweifelsohne steht Kleists Lustspiel, vor allem in Anbetracht der zeitgenössischen Literatur innerhalb der Romantik, sowie der Klassik, recht einsam da. Dies könnte auch der Grund dafür sein, dass sich bei den ersten Inszenierungen die gewünschte komische Wirkung des Stückes nicht vollständig einstellte. Mittlerweile wird es allerdings als eines der bedeutendsten Lustspiele innerhalb der deutschen Literaturgeschichte angesehen, was nicht zuletzt auch am immensen Gehalt der inhaltlichen Motive und Symbole liegen mag. In Kleists analytischem Drama verhandelt die Hauptperson Richter Adam als Vorsitzender des Dorfgerichtes in der Sache eines zu Bruch gegangenen Krugs, der aus dem Besitz der Marthe Rull stammt. Hierbei versucht Adam von Beginn an zu verbergen, dass er selbst der eigentliche Schuldige ist und für die Tat zur Verantwortung gezogen werden müsste.Basierend auf dieser Rahmenhandlung sollen im weiteren Verlauf der Arbeit die Elemente der Komik herausgearbeitet, sowie anhand von Textbeispielen erläutert und analysiert werden. Darüber hinaus wird der biblisch- philosophische Hintergrund des Lustspiels in Form von Richter Adams Sündenfall interpretiert.Doch zunächst einmal soll der Fokus auf einige Gedanken zum Komödienbegriff, des Weiteren auf dessen Abgrenzung zur Tragödie, sowie anschließend auf die Eigenschaften und Formen von Komik gerichtet werden.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: The linguistic status of Scots today is certainly best described as ambiguous. Scots is unique because it has a clearly defined history of its own and it has always possessed enough distinctive features to be very different from Standard English. Of all the varieties of English which have developed within the British Isles, there is none that created such controversy and still challenges even the best scholars. This paper tries to find out about the possibility of labelling Scots a language or a dialect. In addition to that, it takes a closer look at the linguistic features of Middle Scots and the situation of Scots today. Includes comprehensive sources for further reading and research. 16 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - Political Theory and the History of Ideas Journal, grade: 1.3, University of London (Department of Politics and International Relations), language: English, abstract: War or Peace The answer to this question is very ambiguous in classical theory; arguments laid out by both liberalists and realists are consistent although the empirical evidence so far tends to support the realist notion of perpetual conflict. Especially taking into account terrorism, intervention and intrastate conflict, a pessimistic outlook seems unavoidable. So the overwhelming empirical arguments still win the case in favour of Realism, in my opinion.To come to this argument, the first paragraph is denoted to give definitions of the most important terms and a description of the international system. After this initial clarification, the liberal position of a possible peace defended by what can be called the 'interconnectedness' thesis in political, economic and institutional terms will be presented. This will then be confronted with the realist argumentation for a never-ending state of war. The last part of the paper will deal with intrastate wars, humanitarian intervention and terrorism as the 'new threat to eternal peace' leading to a pessimistic conclusion. 16 pp. Englisch. …

While historians and theorists struggle with the challenges of extreme interpretative relativism, fiction allows ideas that relate to questions of history and identity to be played out in a non-instructional setting. The poststructuralist tendencies in the arts and social sciences are best embodied in literature by the rise of the historical fiction genre. The fact that several of the novels on the 2009 Booker Prize longlist are part of the genre shows that historical fiction has been enthusiastically embraced by the wider literary community. Concurrently, the relationship between fiction and history has become a much debated topic in Australian culture. By discussing the role of history in three notable Australian novels - David Malouf s Ransom, David Brooks The Umbrella Club and James Bradley s The Resurrectionist, the essay investigates how important the historical is to the fictional - and vice versa. 24 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - Political Theory and the History of Ideas Journal, grade: 1.7, Royal Holloway, University of London, language: English, abstract: Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan being the wars discussed most controversial in the last decade are also an important subject matter for the political theory (Kugler et al., 2004; Mearsheimer/Walt, 2003). Especially their use as falsifying cases against the liberal notion of democratic peace theory is prominent - though questionable (Panke/Risse, 2007). Kant and his successors in the tradition of the liberal democratic peace theory can to a certain extent be defended even considering the recent wars - at east on the surface; these were fought between despotic states and democracies and therefore do not stand in opposition to the liberal peace theory in its 'narrow form'. Nevertheless, closer analysis reveals that the recent conflicts can be used as examples of severe violations of part of Kant's predictions and arguments. These arguments will be exposed within the first part of the essay formulated by Immanuel Kant already in 1795 (Kant, 2007). Afterwards the theoretical discussion will be expanded towards contemporary followers, such as Doyle (1983). They form what is often stated as the liberal democratic peace theory. Subsequently, the cases of Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan as possible points of falsifications against the trustworthiness of the theoretical arguments presented beforehand will be analysed. 16 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2007 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 1,0 (A), , course: Global Studies 221 -Globalization and Culture: the Cosmopolitan Village , language: English, abstract: The topic of this essay is 'nutritional globalization' -respectively, the detrimental impacts it can have on our daily lives. The notion of 'nutritional globalization' for the purposes of this essay will include the following aspects: first of all, nowadays all kinds of comestibles can be sourced worldwide without any problems (Lang, 1999). This development is based on several economic processes such as trade liberalization and tariff reductions. Thus, comestibles which could formerly only be found in Asia for example, are now available all over the world. Hence, it can be argued that food is slowly losing its roots in terms of identification of a certain comestible with a certain culture. Second, the global food market is increasingly controlled by multinational corporations forcing smaller national enterprises and family farmers out of business (Lang, 1999). The third meaning refers to the spread of fast food which can be observed throughout the world. The fourth and last meaning refers to food and eating habits as a part of culture and a means of communication. Thus, we will observe 'nutritional globalization' on an economic and a cultural level.As will be demonstrated during the course of this essay, 'Nutritional globalization' as defined above has severe detrimental impacts not only on people's health - which is reflected in the ever-increasing number of chronic degenerative diseases - but also on people's social life. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, grade: A, University for Peace (United Nations-mandated University for Peace), language: English, abstract: Traditional international law considered the sovereignty of state as the core principle andstate cannot be interfered by other states or international community even though it is failed toprotect its people. The modern international law developed when the Peace of Westphalia wassigned in 1648. With this development, the principle of sovereignty of state has been graduallyreplaced with the principle of international community as every state more or less is dependent,particularly in terms of economics and politics, in order to survive in the world community. Inthis regard, each state came into agreement on trade, diplomacy and so on with the others. Soeach is bound by international law either treaty, customary international law, or other sources ofinternational law. Regarding the international crimes under international criminal law such asgenocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, most of the states more or less are bound bythem, significantly under the 1948-Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crimeof Genocide, 1968-Convention on the Non-Applicability of Statutory Limitations to War Crimesand Crimes against Humanity, and the 2002-Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court(ICC).Throughout the history, a number of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimeshappened, but only were four ad hoc tribunals right away created to prosecute the criminalsbefore the ICC came into being in 2002. Those are the 1945-Nuremberg Tribunal, the 1946-Tokyo Tribunal, the 1993-International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, and the1994-International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. However, such a thing was not undertaken inCambodia after the Khmer Rouge regime collapse in 1979. The Khmer Rouge Tribunal isselected to study because it is the only tribunal established very late after the carelessness of theinternational community and the prolonged and often acrimonious cooperation and negotiationbetween the Cambodian government and the UN, unlike the others.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 3,0, RWTH Aachen University, language: English, abstract: Alzheimer's Disease (henceforth 'A.D.') is generally diagnosed in people over the age of 65. So when the world populations becomes older and more persons over the age of 65 populate the world, the disease spreads. By 2006, the number of A.D.-patients had already increased to 26.6 millions. This number is assumed to quadruple by 2050.But an improved A.D.-research would not only help those persons who suffer from it:'Alzheimer's Disease offers the challenge not only of delineating the writing disturbance of a common neurodegenerative illness but also the opportunity to discern how widespread neocortical deafferentation affects the neurobehavioral underpinnings of a complex cognitive task such as writing.' (Glossar et al., 2000:78)Why especially the examination of language in A.D.-patients can promote the general study of language a great deal is also pointed out by Obler et al. (1999:92):'The language of dementing patients presents a unique opportunity for examining the relationship between language and cognition. The pattern of dissociation of abilities in dementia can yield information regarding the normal relationship - dependence or independence - between language and more general cognitive abilities. [.] To study language production and comprehension abilities in dementing patients is to explore the boundaries between syntax and semantics and among semantics, real world knowledge, and reasoning abilites.'In this termpaper I will show that A.D. has severe effects on the patients' language and that it is primarily caused by an impaired memory. During the second chapter, I will give a brief overview of the disease in general, i.e. the history of A.D., the insights and damages of A.D.-patients' brain and body, and the different stages of this disease. Chapter 3 will present a selection of the most common effects of A.D. on language. The fourth chapter will close with a short summary of the termpaper and a conclusion. 20 pp. Englisch. …

To express character, I have said.'Virginia Woolf made this 'character expressing' to the centre of her work and brought it to perfection in her late novels. She began using a stream technique in Jacob's Room to describe characters' thoughts and feelings. In phase II she built her novels on characters' thoughts, formed the plot through description and characters mind progression. In To The Lighthouse Woolf let the plot progress through the developments of character. The Waves completely relies on the description of the characters' minds and is phase III of her development. 'She reaches perfection in characters' thought and mind description' through the 'stream of consciousness.'The purpose of this work is to cover a basic approach on the stream technique Woolf uses in her novels, as well as embed some text passages in the psychological background William James and Henri Bergson gave in their theories. Bergson and James are both psychologists who gave way to theories oftime and duration, as well as to the theory of consciousness. Bergson, who was senior of William James, was highly influenced by James' work and it is said that Bergson's writing of Les données immédiates de la conscience was influenced by James' article 'On Some Omissions of Introspective Psychology'. Concurrently Bergson was highly regarded by James:'So modest and unpretending a man but such a genius intellectually! I have the strongest suspicions that the tendency which he has brought to a focus, will end by prevailing,(.)'Consequently it is obligatory to combine Woolf's ideas of character description and her stream technique, with which she provides an insight into the character, with James' and Bergson's work. This can of course not be done in extenso on the following pages but I am trying to give an overview what we can deplore behind the surface of Woolf's work. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1.0, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, language: English, abstract: At present, approximately two thirds of the world's population is bilingual. Globalisation, migration and decreasing gaps between different cultures and countries make the ability to speak two or more languages necessary, and, consequently, the number of bilingual people increases steadily. The ever-increasing, significant number of people speaking two or more languages has caused high interest, among psychologists, educators and also psycholinguists, in the cognitive and cerebral study of the bilingual. An important part of the research is the study of bilingual aphasia, meaning the loss of the capability to comprehend and/or speak a language, either totally or in part, which is a result of brain injuries often caused by diseases, such as strokes or tumours, war injuries or car accidents (cf. Myers-Scotton 2006: 317). Studying bilingual aphasia and its impacts on the bilingual's different languages contributes to finding an answer to the question of how two or more languages are organised and represented in the brain. In so doing, this field of research posits hypotheses concerning the cerebral organisation of language in general and the parts of the brain which function for its production. After having defined the terms bilingualism and bilingual, which is a necessary prerequisite to avoid confusing ambiguities in the following text, this essay will illustrate the most common patterns of language recovery and their relative incidence. This illustration will be followed by an overview of early suggested and attempted explanations for the questions about which brain mechanisms are responsible for the various patterns, why a certain patient shows a certain recovery pattern and why one language in some cases remains more intact than the other, or why sometimes one is preserved, while the other is lost entirely. Finally, the essay will outline the findings of recent research and their contribution to the cognitive study of language. 16 pp. Englisch. …

However, they might result in prejudices and discrimination. The stereotypical division into 'East' and 'West' is evidently a too simplistic one, since there is nothing matching these expressions in the world. This research paper aims to reveal methods of postcolonialism to overcome binary oppositions like 'East' and the 'West', which have been constructed during colonial times through western conception and representation of the 'East'. After briefly showing constitutive and simplifying characteristics of language in general, an introduction to Eward Said's work Orientalism is given as an example of the creation of the 'otherness' of a specific group. Orientalism focuses on how and to which extend the Orient or the East has been created in western notions. By this means the necessity for postcolonial discourse is highlighted. This so-called rewriting of the past can also be observed in the Asian British diaspora. The movies East is East and Ae fond Kiss can be interpreted as an example for postcolonial discourse and an attempt to break national or ethnic stereotypes and binary juxtapositions. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Unorthodox approaches to serious topics are more popular than they have ever been previously. This tendency provokes public discussion about the correctness and adequacy of controversial approaches. A recent example is the new satirical film about Hitler and the Third Reich, The truly truest truth about Adolf Hitler, starring the German comedian Helge Schneider as Hitler. There is a heated debate on whether or not this unusual way of presenting the past distorts the historical facts and thus promotes a false idea of history. The general public point out the importance of morality, political and ethic correctness when it comes to these new ways of looking at a serious topic. These criteria are to be analysed in the novel A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby. 16 pp. Englisch. …
